<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical module that greatly improves workability as well as attaining miniaturization by multicore batch connecting to simplify optical connection of optical fibers, and also to provide a cable unit with the optical module. <P>SOLUTION: The optical module 20 includes: an electric connector 21 that can be connected to equipment; an optical element unit 23 having a plurality of optical elements 24 that convert an electric signal and an optical signal to emit light or receive light; an optical ferrule 25 in which optical fibers 12 are inserted and held in a manner optically connectible to the optical elements 24; and an optical cable introducing part 30 for introducing the end of an optical cable 4 with the optical fibers 12. Then, the end face of the optical ferrule 25 is optically connected to the optical element unit 23, with the optical element unit 23 electrically connected to the electric connector 21. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
